In keeping with that theme, do you remember what you thought about boys at different ages? Well, I do. My much more level headed twin thought it a waste of time to think about boys. A career was the way to go! I on the other hand loved romantic comedies, books with a good love story, and dreaming about my Mr. Right (some things never change).
I am going to tell you all about the crushes I had growing up complete with pictures at my various ages.
